This book just felt REAL and I loved it. As someone that has a more avoidant conflict style and is in their first year of marriage, it felt really eye opening to me about what can happen if you don't say what you're thinking and avoid issues. My -0.75 is just that this felt a little bit longer/slower than it needed to be to achieve the same message effectively. Overall another amazing TJR read! 

This was good but you can really tell this is an early title from TJR.

I related to this book more than I thought I would! Being married and having to push myself to make the other person happy even if i don’t want to. It really opened my eyes and makes me want to be better in my relationship as well. The family dynamic in this book was amazing as well! I loved being able to see what Ryan was going through as well in the emails. Taylor Jenkins Reid is seriously my favorite author! She writes such amazing, thoughtful, and captivating books. Can’t wait for her new book to come out soon!
